[Medical images] How to get a 3D model from a CT (DICOM) using Matlab.

Hello,

I am working in my final thesis.It is about Biomechanics. One of my task consists on getting a 3D model (.stl) from CT images in DICOM format by using Matlab. I have no clue how could I do it. May somebody help me telling me about some bibliography, papers, articles or whatever that could help me to get my goal? Thank you very much in advance.

(Sorry for my English! :S)

For reading the dicom files into MATLAB, I would start with one of these utilities:

FEX:query:dicom

I don't know much about *.stl files but I would guess one of these might help:

FEX:query:stl

There is a dicomread function in the Image Processing Toolbox.
